Repeating: Let's keep #Maryland wildlife wild. Fawn rescued 6/1 after it was found tied to a tree near Armistead Way, Baltimore. Officers could not reunite it with its mother, so the fawn was taken to Phoenix Wildlife Center. Please leave fawns alone. Mom usually isn't far away. pic.twitter.com/5z8xOSJR30
